Pilates Reformer Level 3 

Reformer Level 3 is appropriate for those with 5+ years of experience in Pilates reformer or the equivalent. There is a continuous flow in class and students are required to understand both the equipment and the movement pattern of the exercises. We focus not just on advanced skills, but build the strength necessary to perform them. Internal body awareness, such as a deep understanding of breath work and initiation of spinal motions, is equally as important. Please consult with the instructor in order to join this class.

The Y is rolling out the mat for our members. Mat Pilates offers the same benefits and techniques as a Pilates Reformer class but without the equipment. Tone your muscles, increase flexibility, improve mindfulness and control and nurture your connection between your mind and body. Pilates offers a rich and thorough core workout that will leave you strong and well postured. Bonus: Mat Pilates can also help you improve your Reformer work.

Pilates - Mat

Mat Pilates is a core conditioning program that improves muscle control, flexibility, coordination, strength and tone while performing body weight exercises on a mat. With a focus on proper breathing, good posture and body awareness, a Pilates practice coaxes the body back into its natural alignment.

Pilates Mat Fusion

This class strengthens the core and balances the body through a blend of breath, traditional Mat Pilates movements and a combination of contemporary core-strengthening exercises.
